You are probably going to have to check unstained sections as you trim into the block. The heart needs to be grossed in from apex to base in a standard manner, you will need to figure out the best way to do this. You need to section on the same orientation each time. I'm thinking you need to

It is an alignment problem. Also chipping at the scoring line indicates a too high pressure of the scoring wheel onto the glass (there is a set screw to loosen the pressure next to the scoring wheel, you have to remove the head to adjust). I have an instruction sheet with drawings to align the
